A CLASSE TRABALHADORA, O SURGIMENTO DA CONSCIÊNCIA DE CLASSE E A EDUCAÇÃO

Abstract

This article deals with the class society, the emergence of the working class, its recognition as such and the education. Starts with a brief discussion of the positivist and materialist conceptions of society and historical dialectics, following, discusses the tests made by the working class in its long history to win his consciousness to another. If, from ancient times we live in a class society, this period is not the consciousness of belonging to a class of workers and much less for an action based on and consistent with this membership. This achievement goes through several times and struggles, whether against the nobility and aristocracy or against the bourgeoisie, who rub shoulders with many struggles to overthrow the forces of the Old Regime. However, these struggles the working class was also realizing that if the bourgeoisie, at various times, was interested in making alliances incidental to the conquest of power, definitely had no interest in sharing it. Thus, in the successive struggles and betrayals of the bourgeoisie, the working class was learning not only not believe in the promises and illusions of his former comrades, but also claim the right to give the direction of lives and their destination .
